There were a huge number of police officers today taking photographs and talking to the vendors in front of the Hilton Hotel.
None of these officers had a towel or flip-flops. What they should have done was arrested the vendor who asked me for four hundred baht to sit down on a deck chair.
No joke! There were people sitting near by who must have accepted this. Of course I questioned how they can charge us to sit when we are going to eat and drink. She was completely disinterested. And of course we moved on 50 yards where the same seat was free.
